How many companies used llama instead of paying OpenAI for API access?

If Meta saw OpenAI as a market competitor then denying them revenue is a cunning move.

Especially if llama isn't Meta's core competency but ChatGPT is OpenAI's.

Maybe even legal in that aspect, though they both seem super guilty of not paying for copyrighted material.

Bullshit. It's the duplication that's the "crime". There is no law against running unauthorized copies. And you completely overlook OP's about Nintendo enjoying anti-competitive secondary effects from the aggressive enforcements of their "rights". Personally, I think remote bricking a machine without the explicit content of the owner should qualify as hacking under CFAA.

Comment CS != Coding (Score 1) 120

see subject.

Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

Comment Luxury Spending (Score 1) 60

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.

I either have grass or mud and weeds. So I reseed any bare spots every Spring.

Do you mean people tolerated slippery mud and thicket all summer before the 50's?

I get that motorized mowers make everything easier but I see plenty of pictures of nice homes and parks from the 19th century with cut grass at the Historical Society.
